Illustrate and format Children's Book

I am looking for a work-for-hire illustrator and graphic designer to illustrate a 32 page children's book and book cover and to format the book template (total of 14-16 illustrations). I am looking for an illustrator that is skilled in drawing vivid, whimsical and unique illustrations of diverse and multi-ethnic people (particularly children), animals, and nature that spark imagination. The ideal candidate has excellent communication skills, a reasonable turnaround for deliverables, and experience formatting books that are compatible with KDP and Ingram Spark. Looking to pay a fixed price for full commercial license rights and copyrights of deliverables. The children's book will be the first book in a series, so I am looking to establish a long-term working relationship with the illustrator/graphic designer to illustrate future books in the series.
